About this recipe

The viral TikTok sleepy girl mocktail that took social media by storm — a dreamy, tart-sweet blend of tart cherry juice, magnesium powder, and sparkling water that's become the go-to nighttime wind-down drink. Tart cherry juice is naturally rich in melatonin, making this a genuinely functional and delicious mocktail. Ready in under 5 minutes with no cooking required.

Instructions

1. 1

   Fill a tall glass (Large) with ice. The more ice, the better — it keeps the drink cold and dilutes it just slightly as you sip.

2. 2

   Pour the tart cherry juice over the ice. If you like a sweeter drink, stir in the honey or agave syrup now until dissolved.

3. 3

   Add the magnesium glycinate powder and fresh lemon juice (if using). Stir gently with a spoon to dissolve the magnesium glycinate powder completely — about 15–20 seconds.

4. 4

   Top with chilled sparkling water, pouring slowly to preserve the fizz. Give it one gentle stir to combine without losing too much carbonation.

5. 5

   Garnish with a lemon wheel and a few fresh or frozen tart cherries if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy about 30–60 minutes before bed for the best sleep-supporting effect.
